Abstract

In order to reduce the human error risk and ensure the safe and stable operation of nuclear power plant (NPP), the HF (Human Factors) analysis is necessary. As the typical equipment of the NPP, the local instruments have the extensive distribution area, and concern diverse human factors. The article gives discussions of the engineering problems with HF analysis. It helps to find out the negative factor for the staff safety and equipment function. It also provides some suggestion with the requirements of HFE to improve the working condition. This is the good experience and demonstration for the HFE application and is benefit to the following project practice in NPP.
